Beta Post

[muccamukk]

Warning: As betas are often the first people to get to see a new story or piece of art, it may cause smugness and general anticipatory glee that will deeply irritate their flists. This has generally been seen to take place between when the beta lays hands on a new fan work, and the posting date.

Beta reading longer pieces can be a lot of work, but there's something incredibly satisfying about helping a work take shape as plot holes fill, the dialogue starts to sound like canon, and the writing smooths out.

If you're interested in beta work, but haven't done it before, check out tsukinofaerii's On Writing Fanfic: Love Your Beta post.

Seem like something you'd like to try, sign up here with your username, how you'd like to be contacted (IM, e-mail, PM, pigeon post), the universes you know canon for, squicks you don't want to read, and what you're interested in beta work for (artists, authors or both).
